Overview

A wide variety of emotional and mental problems is referred to as mental illness. Many people experience mental health issues and psychiatric problems on a regular basis.

Mental illness makes people unhappy and can cause problems in their daily lives, such as at job, school, or in their relationships. Mental health issues can usually be addressed with a mix of talk therapy and medication.
